<p>Maybe I should start a new thread for this, but I'm just wondering...</p>
<p>If I was waitlisted regular decision to a school for first-year/freshman admission, do I have a chance as a potential sophomore transfer? The school in question is W&M, and I was a fairly strong candidate the first go-round, or so I thought. I think the only thing that kept me out was being out-of-state.</p>

<p>Usually when you get waitlisted and reapply you have a better chance the second time, although this varies school to school. Some schools don't like looking at RD rejects apps.</p>
<p>Thanks for all the info. Any thoughts on the amount of colleges I should apply to? The more I look into it the bigger my list gets... thanks</p>
<p>bump...</p>
<p>should I go for only a couple or would 5-6 be ok?</p>
<p>You should apply only to schools you have researched, visited, and are sure would be better places for you than where you are now, even if you change your major...</p>
